Murder & Mayhem in Muskego
“It’s a beautiful serial killer movie.” Megan Abbott, about Zodiac.
“I don’t want to talk about metnal illness but if you’re really happy living in the moment, enjoying your life I don’t think you can be a writer, nor should you be.” Laura Lippman
“I’m particularly happy with that panel because finally (Marcus) Sakey admitted he’s stealing my action scenes.” Tom Schreck
“After a year with these characters I’m like, don’t let the door hit you on your imaginary ass on the way out.” Marcus Sakey
When asked about favorite characters they’ve written about…
“They become more special to me after I kill them.” Brian Azarello
“The people in Wichita aren’t any dumber than you.” Marcus Sakey
And… the event began with F. Paul Wilson showing up for a panel he wasn’t supposed to be on. The moral of the story? Never listen to Konrath.

Ah, the ‘moral’ pretty much came out of F. Paul Wilson’s mouth at the event. A joke, but that’s why I put it in.
It’s hard to get the exact quotes when you’re relying on memory to text them - and I’m the world’s slowest texter.

Thanks for quoting Sakey. I was wandering aimlessly when I heard him say “Wichita” but I had missed what he was speaking about.

Gerard, it was one of those comments that, out of context, could sound bad, but it was such a great comment in the context. The convoluted process of dumbing down movies…
